Rules for the Present.

Stop grumbling. Get up two hours earlier in the morning, and begin to do something out of your regular profession. Mind your own business, and with all your might let other people's alone. Live within your means. Sell your horses. Give away or sell your dog. Smoke your cigar through an air-stove. Eat with moderation, and go to bed early. Talk less of your own peculiar gifts and virtues, and more of those of your friends and neighbors. Be cheerful. Fulfil your promise. Pay your debts. Be yourself all you would see in others. Be a good man, and stop grumbling.
—One hour lost in the morning will put back all the business of the day; one hour gained by rising early will make one month in the year.
